What is the speed limit on airside roads unless otherwise posted?

The speed limit on airside roads at Vancouver International Airport is set at 40 km/h unless otherwise posted. This speed limit is established to enhance safety in areas with high pedestrian and vehicle traffic, ensuring that operators have adequate response time in various situations. Maintaining a consistent speed limit helps manage the flow of traffic on the airside, reducing the likelihood of accidents involving ground vehicles, airport personnel, and aircraft operations.
